<br>
I was writing a blog post in the Notebook yesterday and wanted to post<br>
a bit of feedback.<br>
<br>
I was writing the English in Markdown cells and writing Python<br>
examples in code cells, as you&#39;d expect. Once I was happy with the<br>
code example, I would indent the whole cell one extra level and<br>
convert it to a markdown cell, so it could be merged into the markdown<br>
cells around it. This was a bit clumsy, but worked ok.<br>
<br>
I was thinking it might be possible to have a way of automating<br>
something like this. Imagine you press a button and every code cell in<br>
the notebook would indent and convert to a markdown cell, then every<br>
cell would be merged into one big markdown super cell and rendered.<br>
<br>
This should be a view, it shouldn&#39;t change the notebook content<br>
itself, so users could toggle in and out of the view.<br>
<br>
It&#39;d be really nice if this feature could also display this super cell<br>
as markdown and as plain html, so it could be copied into forums and<br>
web pages easily.<br>
<br>
It was just an idea I thought I&#39;d share. I haven&#39;t any code for it or<br>
anything, but wondered if it made sense to others.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Carl<br>
